The Serval Cat also known as the tierboskat, is a wild cat found in Africa. It is the sole member of the genus Leptailurus and was first described by German naturalist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1776. Eighteen subspecies are recognised. The serval is a slender, medium-sized feline that stands 54-62 cm( 21-24 in) at the shoulder and weighs 9-18 kg( 20-40 lb ). It is characterised by a small intelligence, large ears, a golden-yellow to buff coating spotted and striped with black, and a short, black-tipped posterior.

After a gestational period of two to 3 month, a offspring of one to four is birth. Weaning occurs at one month, and kittens begin hunting on their own at six months. The teenagers leave their father at 12 months .

It is rare in northern Africa and the Sahel, but pervasive in southern Africa.
